 The two main isomers of carotene, alpha-carotene and beta-carotene, differ in the position of the double bond (and thus the hydrogen) at one end of the ring group. Beta-carotene is the most common form and can be found in yellow, orange and green leafy fruits and vegetables. As a rule of thumb, the more intensely orange a fruit or vegetable is, the more beta-carotene it contains.Carotene protects plant cells from the damaging effects of UV rays. Beta-carotene is an antioxidant.
